DOZENS of new jobs could be created in Petersfield as two major retailers have been checking out a vacant warehouse.

The former Focus DIY store on Station Road could be turned into a Lidl supermarket and Majestic Wines outlet.

The supermarket would take up two-thirds of the building with the move expected to create between 30 and 40 jobs.

The move was revealed last Friday in a planning application to permit the sale of food and alcohol on the site.
